    Like I say, if you can't take your dog with you wherever you go, leave him at home.

    Some people are so needy that they have to take their dogs everywhere. They're also fashion statements and status symbols. "Look! I have expensive dogs and you don't!" Yes, I'm referring to you, Paris Hilton.

    #1 If the dogs are worth that much why in your right mind would you leave them tied up for anyone to grab them.



    #2 The dogs should have been home.

    If you love your dog, you don't leave them tied up and unattended.

    >>Two Maltese dogs were dog-napped...



    WNBC says that the dogs were worth $7500, not $10k.



    As a dog owner, I hate it when I see pooches tied to parking meters, etc. as their owners run errands.
